RUSHHEAD666 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I knew RUSH was history after seeing the LA Forum show in 2015. DUH Thank you Rush for 30 years of music during my existence. 1984-2015. 60 times in 30 years. Perfect. RUSH FOREVER! Geddy and Alex are sooo fuckking cool too. Glad I met them a few weeks ago with many of amazing new friends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Rolling Stone just published this today. Could There Be Life for Rush Without Neil Peart? If Journey can play stadiums without Steve Perry, Rush can certainly carry on without Peart. A horrible analogy. :boo hiss: :boo hiss: Journey is a shell of itself, and the infighting is an embarrassment. It's actually a great analogy. Ask anyone who the greatest singer in rock is and you'll hear one of two names: Freddie Mercury or Steve Perry. No you wouldn't get that answer if you asked anyone that question. I'm not a fan of either band so those names wouldn't be on my mind at all. I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one to say a different name than one of those two.

A horrible analogy. :boo hiss: :boo hiss: Journey is a shell of itself, and the infighting is an embarrassment. It's actually a great analogy. Ask anyone who the greatest singer in rock is and you'll hear one of two names: Freddie Mercury or Steve Perry. And honestly, more people key in to how the singer sounds than anyone else. The analogy is horrible because of the bands and their respective egos, how they played together and got along with each other, how they broke up and how they get along today. The two bands couldn't be any more different from each other. Steve Perry's voice is irrelevant. Bullsh*t......go read Neil's odious "Middle 8" section of his last book, while thinking back to how he let the Rush organization know he was retiring (via the press via his daughter) and really consider whether your fantasy of "no controversy in the Rush camp" is really that realistic. In no way did I say or even suggest that Rush was free from disagreements or conflict. It's perfectly natural for a rock band or any group of artists to have conflicting needs and wants. Based on what we know, the members of Rush have had a great relationship and friendship. They know how to handle disagreements. My only point was that Rush and Journey have virtually nothing in common, for all the reasons I gave earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the same magazine that trashed Rush for decades and now is looking for ways to extend or infuse new life into the band?

Because based on what I've read, I'd be willing to bet that aside from a perfunctory e-mail or two, Ged and Al haven't heard from Neil since Aug 2015.

thizzellewashington Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I agree with the person who pointed out Alex missing notes on the last tour. I saw them twice on R40, once in Chicago and once in Portland. The Chicago show was great, one of the best times I've seen them. But the Portland show was by far the worst. Alex was missing notes all over the place. And Geddy sounded great at both shows I went to, but I watched the R40 blu-ray from Toronto a couple months ago and his voice sounded...rough. Overall the tour was really good but it isn't hard to see the beginning signs of the decline. Personally, I'm glad they went out (relatively) on top rather than hang on for another few years for what would have been diminishing returns as they got older. I saw them 7 times since 2004. I'm good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But would you see one of us or two of us or three of us? That's possible. …" So what the heck does that last part mean? If you see "three of us," that by definition is Rush, no?
